此二章中各開兩別。初文二者:一、明初佛;二、辨一切佛。初文有三:一、時節;二、化主;三、教門。《地持論》明劫有二種:一、日月歲數不可數名小阿僧祇劫,菩薩能超之。二、大劫不可數名大阿僧祇劫,菩薩不能超之。

Within these two chapters, each is divided into two distinct parts. As for the first text having two parts: 1. clarifying the first Buddha; 2. discerning all the Buddhas. The first text has three aspects: 1. the time; 2. the teaching master; 3. the doctrinal approach. The Bodhisattvabhūmi clarifies that there are two kinds of kalpas: 1. when the number of days, months, and years cannot be counted, it is called a minor asaṃkhyeya kalpa, which bodhisattvas can transcend; 2. when great kalpas cannot be counted, it is called a major asaṃkhyeya kalpa, which bodhisattvas cannot transcend.
